Prince Harry<\/a> is facing a major new blow as one African country has cut ties with a charity associated with him<\/a>, it has been revealed. Chad, which is a landlocked country at the crossroads of North and Central Africa, has revealed that it has axed a mandate held by the non-profit conservation group, Africans Parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shared in a statement, environment Minister Hassan Bakhit Djamous said that African Parks had showed “a recurring indelicate and disrespectful attitude toward the government”. He also claimed that there had been a spike in poaching, as well as a lack of investment at the reserves managed by the conservation group.<\/p>\n

In response, a spokesperson at African Parks said that they were in talks to “explore the best way forward to support the continued protection of these landscapes that are critical to conservation”.<\/p>\n

The Times<\/a> has reported that they alleged that the charity was not active enough it trying to stop poaching.<\/p>\n

African Parks – which was set up in 2000 – had aimed to reduce poaching, as well as helping to grow the elephant population at the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve and the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem.<\/p>\n

After previously being the president of the organisation, Harry, 41, is now a board member of African Parks.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the charity admitted guards at one of the national parks had violated human rights of Indigenous people displaced when the park was made.<\/p>\n

This marks the end of a 15-year partnership between the charity and government.<\/p>\n

Marking the latest blow for the Duke of Sussex, Harry annouced that he was stepping down from his co-founded charity Sentebale earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Sentebale’s chairman Sophie Chandauka made claims of harassment and misogyny, triggering the resignation of Harry as patron as well as several trustees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Express has contacted a representative for the Duke of Sussex and African Parks for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry is facing a major new blow as one African country has cut ties with a charity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[159812,447,159811,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-481774","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-african-parks","9":"tag-prince-harry","10":"tag-prince-harry-african-parks","11":"tag-royal","12":"tag-royal-families","13":"tag-royal-family","14":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115336131655384260","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
